Description

    BACKGROUND
  • 1. Technical Field
  • The exemplary disclosure generally relates to a continuous vacuum sputtering method.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • Continuous vacuum sputtering machines are used for continuously applying more than one coating to a substrate without stopping the operation of the machine and opening a chamber of the machine so that the target inside the chamber can be changed. Additionally, the process for depositing the coating on the substrate, in a typical continuous vacuum sputtering machine, is evaporation or sputtering. However, the rate of depositing coating by evaporation or sputtering and the binding force between the coating and the substrate are both low.
  • Therefore, there is chamber for improvement within the art.
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the exemplary continuous vacuum sputtering method. Moreover, in the drawings like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like elements of an embodiment.
  • The figure is a schematic view of a continuous vacuum sputtering machine used in an exemplary embodiment of continuous vacuum sputtering method.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Referring the Figure, an exemplary embodiment of continuous vacuum sputtering method may include at least the following steps.
  • Providing a substrate. The substrate may be made of metal, glass or ceramic.
  • Providing a continuous vacuum sputtering machine 10. The continuous vacuum sputtering machine 10 includes a loading chamber 1, a first pumping chamber 2, a first buffering chamber 3, a depositing chamber 4, a second buffering chamber 5, a second pumping chamber 6, and an unloading chamber 7, all in series. The depositing chamber 4 may include a single vacuum chamber or a plurality of vacuum chambers connected in series. In this exemplary embodiment, the depositing chamber 4 includes a series arrangement of three vacuum chambers 4 a, 4 b, and 4 c. Each of the vacuum chambers 4 a, 4 b, and 4 c has a cathodic arc emitting source located therein.
  • Depositing a coating on the substrate by a cathodic arc deposition (Arc-PVD) method. The loading chamber 1 is opened to load the substrate in the loading chamber 1, and then the loading chamber 1 is closed. The first pumping chamber 2 is opened. The substrate is transferred to the first pumping chamber 2. The first pumping chamber 2 is closed so the air can be pumped out until to a predetermined pressure is acquired. The first buffering chamber 3 is opened. The substrate is transferred to the first buffering chamber 3. The first buffering chamber 3 is closed to separate the first pumping chamber 2 and the depositing chamber 4, i.e., the first buffering chamber 3 acts as a barrier between the first pumping chamber 2 and the depositing chamber 4 to prevent the air inside the first pumping chamber 2 from entering into the depositing chamber 4. The substrate is successively entered into the vacuum chambers 4 a, 4 b, 4 c to deposit the coating on the substrate. For simplicity, the means for moving the substrate through the various chambers is not shown. The coating may include a bonding layer, a protection layer and a color layer successively deposited on the substrate. The bonding layer may be a zirconium layer deposited in the vacuum chamber 4 a. The protection layer may be a zirconium carbon-oxide layer deposited in the vacuum chamber 4 b. The color layer may be a titanium nitride-carbon layer deposited in the vacuum chamber 4 c.
  • During depositing the bonding layer on the substrate, the temperature in the vacuum chamber 4 a is set between about 130 degrees Celsius (°C.) and about 170° C. Pure argon is floated into the vacuum chamber 4 a at a flux between about 450 Standard Cubic Centimeters per Minute (sccm) and about 550 sccm. A zirconium target in the vacuum chamber 4 a is evaporated at a power between about 100 amps and about 500 amps, for between about 1 minute and about 2 minutes, to deposit the bonding layer on the substrate.
  • During depositing the protection layer on the substrate, the temperature in the vacuum chamber 4 b is set between about 130° C. and about 170° C. Simultaneously, pure argon is fed into the vacuum chamber 4 b at a flux between about 450 sccm and about 550 sccm, Oxygen is floated into the vacuum chamber 4 b at a flux between about 45 sccm and about 55 sccm, and Acetylene is floated into the vacuum chamber 4 b at a flux between about 95 sccm and about 105 sccm. A zirconium target in the vacuum chamber 4 b is evaporated at a power between about 100 amps and about 500 amps, for between about 1 minute and about 2 minutes, to deposit the protection layer on the substrate.
  • During the depositing of the protection layer on the substrate, the temperature in the vacuum chamber 4 c is set between about 130° C. and about 170° C. Simultaneously, pure argon is floated into the vacuum chamber 4 c at a flux between about 450 sccm and about 550 sccm, Nitrogen is floated into the vacuum chamber 4 c at a flux between about 45 sccm and about 55 sccm, and Acetylene is floated into the vacuum chamber 4 c at a flux between about 95 sccm and about 105 sccm. A titanium target in the vacuum chamber 4 c is evaporated at a power between about 100 amps and about 500 amps, for between about 1 minute and about 2 minutes, to deposit the color layer on the substrate.
  • After the coating is deposited, the second buffering chamber 5 is opened. The substrate having the coating is transferred to the second buffering chamber 5. The second buffering chamber 5 is closed to separate the second pumping chamber 6 and the depositing chamber 4, i.e., the second buffering chamber 5 acts as a barrier between the second pumping chamber 6 and the depositing chamber 4 to prevent the air inside the second pumping chamber 6 from entering into the depositing chamber 4. The second pumping chamber 6 is opened, and the substrate having the coating is transferred to the second pumping chamber 6. The second pumping chamber 6 is closed so air can be pumped into the first pumping chamber 2 until reaching a predetermined pressure. The unloading chamber 7 is opened, and the substrate having the coating is transferred to the unloading chamber 7 for removal out of the continuous vacuum sputtering machine 10.
  • In the above exemplary embodiment, the coating is deposited on the substrate by cathodic arc deposition so the rate of depositing the coating can be increased, and the binding force between the coating and the substrate can be improved.
  • It is to be understood, however, that even through numerous characteristics and advantages of the exemplary disclosure have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the system and function of the disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
